The biggest advantages to Premier is the showers and the shuttle. What I did last year, since I showed up a day earlier than some of my friends was camp in GC. When they showed up, I hopped in their car and we went thru the checkpoints. They gave us our premier passes. They came around and parked next to me in GC, just outside of the Premier gate. When we would get ready to go in we would just show our wristbands and go into Premier and catch the shuttle. We got to hang out in party central and still get the ride back to the campground. 1 pass is only good for one car and 4 people.

I have been working in Vancouver, so I may be leaving from there. I haven't decided yet. I will be adding 4 or 5 to my truck before I take off.

I have had people ride with me the last 3 years and it has worked great. I hate taking a truck and buying passes that are good for 4 and using them myself. I have found some people here and some on CL. I don't think the people that go to Sasquatch would want to take that much energy away from the weekend to figure out a plan to "off" someone.

The trunk should be your best friend. That's where I would put anything I really cared about.

I am totally stoked about the re entry. Last year the weather was very mild, but when it is 90+ over there with no shade, going back to the trailer is great. I can stock it up with some great food and even a better variety of liquid refreshments. If I want to see an early band I have a tough time staying until the headliner. I tend to get bored after a while. This will be much better. I had VIP passes one year and it was nice to go back and forth. Whoever said this would be the year for Premier, you are dead on. I will be upgrading this year as well. Also, if you want to camp in GC with your friends you still can with Premier. That is what I did last year. ...do you work for live nation? Because I have been attending since 2006, and I have been pushing for re entry the entire time? I did spring for Premier camping this year just so I could have shuttle back and forth (It makes it worthwhile just for that). Hopefully we don't start the year making assumptions about people's motives and actions this early.

My firsts this year:
First time surfing out of the crowd. First time getting the rail at the mainstage (Wilco) Either first time getting puked on in the mosh pit or it was the cake that Wayne threw into the crowd.
Got pictures with the Axis of Awesome guys and Tim Minchin
Loved Rodrigo Y Gabriella
Had great people around me.
Met people from this board and the FB board (Gracie, Mase)
I was setting up my site, and the guy right behind me said, hey your Kenhillwa. I sadi yes, how did you know? He said he recognized my pics. That was really cool. It was Jonah, from ND.
All in all a great weekend.

Did anybody end up meeting Mase? I stopped by and met him on Thursday. He seemed to have a decent group with him. I said hi on Saturday as well. And for the record, the VIP tickets he had were real. Too many people were on here trying to say they knew they were a fake.

Hey Ken, Where would I have to pick these boxes up from? I think we have decided to take my buddy's jeep instead of my smart car, so if it isn't too far out of the way and I'm allowed to open the boxes to ensure that I'm actually not taking anythign across teh border I'd consider it- if you can't find someone else- delivering them to you might cause me to get the life snatched out of me. I would have to get you in contact with the gal from Calgary, but if you live by Calgary at all i am sure that they would pick them up. The boxes have the packing slips on the side. I am sure it would be no problem checking them. I checked the company online and it looks legit to me. As far as Fedex, UPS and such. That is what I will probably end up doing. I was just trying a shot in the dark. I stepped up to help her, I thought someone else would step up to help as well. I forget I am too much like John Candy in Planes Trains and automobiles. I like helping others.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty clear.
As far as flaming on ppl on here, I would like some proof. The only people I have criticized were people that spend their time cracking on others. I would like to know what I may have done that was soooo bad?
You guys (and girls) have such a tight cliques going you want to rip on every one else. I could give you pages of put downs and flames that you have done. I would like to see just a few of mine that you would consider a slam or inappropriate. I stepped up to help someone on the FB page. Her fiance' has kidney stones and can't go. Now I have two boxes of decorations in my spare bedroom that I am going to get to them one way or another. I was just hoping someone else would step up the way I did. I am not looking for a mule, but if I could get this taken care of by the end of the weekend than I would feel that much better.

question, what if my bf and i are coming down in one car, but he has to leave Sunday morning and will be returning Monday morning, can he bring our car back in to the campsite or will he have to park it in general admissions parking? if he cannot bring it back in, can he bring the car in on Tuesday when the festival is over so that we can pack up our stuff? plus will he be able to come back into to the George through the g/a gates and can he come back into the campsite? Yes, make sure that they don't block you in. When they pack everyone in it is possible that you could camp in a spot that makes it difficult. But they usually will put a tag in your window so you can come back in.

Anyone on here from Calgary? I am trying to get two boxes to someone from Calgary that had to cancel. Don't get excited, it's just decorations for her wedding. What a charmer! Clever too! Boys. (super sarcasm here and pity to the men who feel that is funny and appreciated by anyone one other than those of equal insecure nature) What are you talking about?? Do you just have a copy and paste flame you use for everything? I'm trying to help someone out that had to cancel. Wow, what a strage dude.

If you are in a Mazde3 it would be a lot to ask. I am hoping someone from there is bringing an RV.

I agree Ken! But even after all of the hatred from HG about our set-up, I still invited him to join us. I saw that. He just needs a little love, and to stay away from the lemon juice.

Your big fancy RV, your fat wad of cash and your gallons of booze aren't even enough to make the "ladies" come hang out with you. You have to rely on the RAIN to DRIVE them to you. You're so unsure of your ability to get you and your buddies laid you've had to troll the fucking internet for two months beforehand to increase your chances. I don't see what you're crowing about. You're really, really gross. Do I detect a hint of RV envy? Is it becaause you don't have one you have to put down everyone that has one?

There's always a certain percentage of people that do this in any part of society. It's just way too easy to get away with it on a message board. Just lurk these forums for a short time and you can find a couple people that go out of their way to verbally attack people. Need more Stoke! Less Abuse! Can't wait for sasquatch!! Hope for some sunshine!! Well said.
